The question is how mod_wsgi could know about the existence of these threads, let alone decide which subinterpreter an arbitrary OS thread should belong to; only the extension module can safely tell. And it becomes totally hopeless if those threads are actually *shared* between subinterpreters, as might be the case with a 3rd-party library managing its own helper threads (I don't know if that's the case with sqlite). IMO we should really promote clean APIs which allow solving the whole problem, rather than devise an internal hack to try to "improve" things slightly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10915> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
